At what point does this game need to be completely redefined because it got TOO MUCH money?
It can't have too much... two things that constantly are "short" due to funding are amount of content and polish. Since oldschool adventures are fairly straight-forward... they are easy to polish (may add a little more graphical detail here and there)... so that leaves extending the content... whether it's adding more plot-twists, more side-plots, more puzzles, or hopefully - more humor.
Sure it can. How much can a 2D adventure game cost? You can add more content, but when does that stop making sense? When does that become content for the sake of spending money rather than because it's fun and fits the plot. You can polish, but how much polish can you put onto a 2D adventure game? You can't really add humor with money, though I guess you can repeatedly test humor.
All of this also takes time, and a small team burning through a lot of money takes a lot of time.
The really interesting question is what happens if nearly everyone that would buy this buys this via Kickstarter. Then there's a guarantee of not going in the red, but not much guarantee of going decently into the black. It's a no-risk no-reward project. That seems unlikely, given that so many people will have this and everyone will be talking about it, but it's an interesting thing. |
